The intriguing story behind the writer, the seeker, the spy - Peter Matthiessen
Join us for a fireside chat with Lance Richardson & Caroline Baum about Peter Matthiessen - Writer. Seeker. Spy
Lance & Caroline take a fine toothed comb to the extraordinary life of Peter Matthiessen, who led a life of such improbable scale it reads like invention.
From co-founding The Paris Review while undercover for the CIA, to a restless flight into the wilds of the Amazon, the Himalayas, Australia, Papua New Guinea and the Everglades, his narrative defies a single shelf. His magnum opus, The Snow Leopard, was less a search for a spotty cat than a relentless, spiritual inquiry into meaning within a fractured modern world.
Join us as Caroline and Lance give us a glimpse into a life less ordinary!
